Lin Shan walked quickly to the riverbank, handed the basket to Su Yu, and said:
"Auntie, there are pies in the basket. Aunt Xiaoyu said they are filled with chives and eggs."
There were also two sorghum cornbreads and two white flour steamed buns.
These were all given to me by Aunt Little Fish because I helped her collect snails.
When Su Yu heard this, she had already lifted the lid of the basket.
When I saw that there were three things wrapped in oil paper inside, I breathed a sigh of relief.
Although her husband now manages more than 800 people, it is precisely because he manages so many people that he doesn't like to eat alone.
Everyone eyed anything they could get their hands on, wanting to divide it equally.
Even if she wanted to keep some things, it was very difficult!
In fact, by the time everyone had made it this far, all the food had been eaten up.
We're eating wild vegetables now.
Occasionally, if everyone is lucky, they might catch a pheasant or rabbit, which they'll use to make soup for everyone to try.
The things I got from those villagers yesterday are all for children under ten years old.
Her family has two children, one thirteen and the other just ten, neither of whom are entitled to a share, and she is currently worried about this.
Unexpectedly, the child brought back so much.
It sounds like it was earned through physical labor.
Thinking this, she forgot her anger and asked:
"An'an, what is this 'collecting snails' thing you mentioned? And who is Aunt Little Fish?"
Lin Shan hadn't even reached the shore yet when she heard this, so she bent down and searched in the river for a while before picking up a large river snail that she had missed.
“Auntie, look, this is it. Aunt Xiaoyu said she wanted a big one, the size of the one I have in my hand.”
By the way, Aunt Xiaoyu is the pretty older sister who sells grain to Dad.
Aunt Xiaoyu said that if we wanted to pick them up, we could collect them all and exchange them at the foot of Beishan Mountain when it got dark.
She would have someone bring us food.
Oh, Auntie, Aunt Xiaoyu asked if I wanted money or food, so I said I wanted food.
Auntie Little Fish said, "We'll exchange them based on quantity."
Upon hearing that the other person was a girl exchanging grain for Song Chongjin, Su Yu immediately knew who she was.
"So it was that young lady!"
She murmured to herself, then looked at Lin Shan: "An'an, are there many snails in the river that you're holding?"
Su Yu had a good impression of Chi Yu and wanted her to believe that, given her kindness, she would definitely keep her word.
Having decided to settle down here, she wanted to earn some food for her family first.
So, she had the idea of collecting snails to exchange for food.
"So many! My aunt and I have collected several buckets of them since this morning."
Auntie, Aunt Xiaoyu said that when she finishes making it, she will give me a bowl so that you can all try it.
She said it was delicious, good with rice, good with alcohol, and could also be eaten as a snack.
However, it uses a lot of oil and requires a lot of preparation when making it.
Having received specific information from her niece, Su Yu just wanted to take the things back first, then tell her husband before coming over.
She didn't care much about what kind of snails they tasted or what they were like.
Therefore, after Lin Shan got ashore, fearing that her child would be hungry, she immediately opened one of the oil paper packages.
Seeing that it contained a pie, and that it was quite large, she immediately broke it open and handed half of it over.
"An'an, are you hungry? Eat first. If it's not enough, tell your aunt, and I'll save the rest for you."
Lin Shan wasn't one to eat alone, so upon hearing this, she said, "Half of this is enough for me!"
Auntie, Aunt Xiaoyu said there are two of each kind. There are four of us, which means each of us has half of each kind.
